Milan, March 4 (Ians) Franck Kessie's late penalty saved AC Milan from a home defeat in Serie A, as the Rossoneri drew with Udinese 1-1. Milan have managed just one win in its last three matches and needed another to keep pace on the table.
With Zlatan Ibrahimovic sidelined, Rafael Leao started as a makeshift center-forward while Alessio Romagnoli returned to the starting line-up on Wednesday, Xinhua news reports.
Udinese were close to breaking the deadlock right after the interval as Theo Hernandez's wayward back pass led to Ilija Nestorovski's header, but Romagnoli cleared it off the line.
The away side went ahead in the 69th minute as Rodrigo Becao jumped to meet a corner, and Milan's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma should have done better to prevent the ball from hitting the net.
It seemed to be all over deep into stoppage time, but Jens Stryger Larsen's unnecessary handball awarded Milan a penalty.

Rome, Feb 22 (Ians) The highly-anticipated Milan derby turned out to be a lop-sided one, as Inter Milan swept aside city rivals AC Milan 3-0, with Lautaro Martinez bagging a brace and Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic playing heroics.
It was the most eye-catching Derby della Madonnina in recent years, not only because it was a head-to-head for the top spot, with only one point separating the two teams, but also because of the clash between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Romelu Lukaku, as the Swede was suspected of racially insulting his former Manchester United teammate in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals last month, Xinhua news reports.
Both sides had a relatively full squad to choose from, as Christian Eriksen got the nod in midfield for Inter, while Ibrahimovic led Milan's starting line-up and goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma marked his 200th Serie A appearance on Sunday.

Rome, Jan 19 (Ians) Zlatan Ibrahimovic's double helped AC Milan enjoy a 2-0 victory away to Cagliari in their latest encounter, despite Alexis Saelemaekers's red card.
With Rafael Leao suspended, and Theo Hernandez and Hakan Calhanoglu having tested positive for Covid-19, Milan on Monday evening started with Diogo Dalot and Jens Hauge, while Brahim Diaz roamed behind Ibrahimovic, reports Xinhua news agency.
The Rossoneri broke the deadlock just seven minutes into the game as Ibrahimovic was brought down in the box. The Swede kept his composure to convert the spot-kick.
The away side doubled the lead in the 52nd minute as Davide Calabria's cross-field ball found Ibrahimovic, who turned in from point-blank range.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but a Var check overturned the decision.
The downside for the Diavolo was Saelemaekers's sending off, with the Belgian collecting two yellow cards just eight minutes after coming on as a substitute.
